Tailoring Precursor-Solvent Coordination Controls the Crystallization Kinetics and Nuclei Growth for Phase Homogenization in Wide-Bandgap Perovskite Solar Cells.

ABSTRACT: Wide-bandgap (WBG) perovskites are promising top-cell absorbers for tandem photovoltaics but suffer from unbalanced nucleation-growth driven by strong coordination between polar aprotic solvents and perovskite precursors. This promotes the formation of hexagonal intermediate polytypes, stacking defects, halide-cation migration, and phase segregation. Although long-chain alkyl ammonium chlorides are used to control crystallization, the role of volatile ammonium chloride (AC) in altering the precursor chemistry and crystallization pathways in WBG perovskites remains unexplored. Present study, shows that AC weakens precursor-solvent coordination and destabilizes undesired hexagonal polytypes. In situ characterizations indicate that AC induces high-valence, de-intercalated solvated iodoplumbat
